We have used Turbo Tax for many years probably since a full version for pc was available. So it appears to be 24 years and we have not been audited and have never lost the tax file to work on. I tried to use my saved progress one morning recently and the .tax2025 was gone. We had to restart after 5 hours of working on the program. 5 stars except for the loss of the tax file.

Overall, the software guides you through every key step. There is some repetition in asking for information, but it's probably to avoid errors. I had to do a little trial and error to download 1099 data from my financial institutions. My biggest disappointment was that I paid for a state income tax return, but TurboTax made me pay for it again.

Not as clear and informative as I'd hoped. Fortunately Microsoft CoPilot was able to answer any questions I had and guide me through many of the screens. Also there were several Learn More or Information links that just took me to the generic help support page rather than the specific topic the link referred to.

The Turbotax premier worked well for me. I appreciate its ability to interface with my stock broker and my K 1 partnership. The bulk edit for stock sales could be improved to allow more items to edit. I had to open up each stock transaction to edit them.

I have been unable to print out estimated tax forms that do not say DO NOT FILE. I was also disappointed that I had to mail in my Colorado taxes because of my husbands death. Turbotax should have let me file them and let me upload the forms needed to the necessary web site. This is the first year that I have had problems with Turbotax.

The product works as well as previous iterations, which is pretty good. But as soon as you stray off the well-trodden path the help gets confusing and contradictory. And forcing users to run Windows 11 is outrageous, there is no apparent need for it. And pushing users to use the online version is a bridge too far. Next year I will be taking a closer look at alternative software and may or may not continue with Turbo Tax. It's not a bad product but there's a limit to how much of the tax code you can support in software.

There were 2 glaring errors on the Idaho State Form 40 - Line 16 did not reflect the correct Standard Deduction amount. Line 18 did not reflect any amount, and should have included the deduction for qualified overtime and the $6000 Senior credit from the OBBBA

As always TT simplified the tax prep process. This year I hit a couple of issues but managed to work through. (Example: I had manually add my CHET contribution to my state return (CT 1040) -- maybe I missed a question or a bullet on higher education contributions.

I would give it zero stars if I could. Made it all the way to file my taxes and then it said I couldn't file because an update was needed. When the program closed for the update I lost all of my work and had to start completely over!! Terrible and will consider another platform next year.

What I would really like is if you made the font size readable. You've got this whole big window and the information takes up a small part of it for most pages. You could make the font quite a bit larger and all the information would still fit. I get eyestrain every time. Don't suggest adjusting the font with my screen options BECAUSE THEN THE BUTTON TO ADVANCE DISAPPEARS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE ! and you can't scroll down to it.
